Trouble logging in?We were forced to invalidate all account passwords. You will have to reset your password to login. If you have trouble resetting your password, please send us a message with as much helpful information as possible, such as your username and any email addresses you may have used to register. Whatever you do, please do not create a new account. That is not the right solution, and it is against our forum rules to own multiple accounts.

This includes posts containing ANY campaign verbiage whether in whole or in part. Contributing to the debate is encouraged, provided you do NOT add "VOTE ABCD!!!" (or similar to the post itself). Simply rebutting another's post or opinion with "XYZ sucks" is totally unacceptable.

To be clear:

* Please do not create a post with the sole purpose to campaign for a character!
* Do not add “VOTE FOR XYZ CHARACTER!!” anywhere in your post even if the intent isn't to purely campaign.

We want intelligent, decent and fun discussions about the weekly Rounds and the subsequent winners & losers.

* No Image campaigning.
Do not create a post with an image or collage representation of a campaign poster. In other words: a PhotoShopped image of the character you want people to vote for with “vote for” text added to it.

Posting Etiquette:

* Please do not cross post information about this tournament in other AnimeSuki threads except those which are related to moe tournaments.
Keep all Anime Best moe Tournament posts, campaigns, character information, voting links, etc., within this thread only or in your signature (signature size limits still apply).

* No "meta-posting".
Meaning: posting about another poster, the thread or about another post itself, is forbidden and will be deleted on-the-spot, regardless of intention. If you want to comment about another poster that’s off-topic and/or personal, send them a PM.

* Any flame-baiting will be deleted and those people banned.
Please keep the thread positive, fun and clean. If your choice doesn’t win the Round and you can’t discuss the fact without complaining, swearing and baiting people into arguments, then don’t post.

* Do not create image only posts.
You can, however, include an image with your discussion. If you want to visually support the character you’re voting for then please do so in the context of your original discussion and use only one or two images. We would encourage the use of “thumbnails” if possible (and please, no large images).
Please use Spoiler tags if you wish to post a non-thumbnailed image
--PM the mods if you need help with posting thumbnail images or using any of the tags.

The Eligible Character check is underway, and KBM staff would be very grateful if you can help out. Please feel free to post any question here, and I will hastily pass them to those with powers to address them.

Please check the following link. If you discover any misspelling of the name or character(s) that is missing from the list, please post the reply here or email dh1024@gmail.com , the site administrator of Anizone.

I'll try my best to participate. If it isn't too much to ask, may I have a quick skim of how this tournament works?

Please concern yourself only with the English portions. I do believe all the important things are in English as well

J-Saimoe usually starts with nomination stage which usually starts before Best Moe. Best Moe's prelim involves every eligible character thus prelim is not needed, but due to time it takes for the staff to check the database, it tends to start little bit after J-Saimoe nomination start. Best Moe usually proceeds in faster pace and ends sooner, for it needs some preparation time for the Super Best Moe that starts in November.

hmmm the list looks good, but why isnt Shana in this? I thought Shana S would make her eligible

"3-year" rule - if a series participated 3+ times already it is ineligible. This was implemented to address some issues that arose primarily during Male Div. as well as some during Female Div as well..

Thus One Piece, Yugioh, Keroro Gunso (Sgt Frog), Gag Manga Biyori, Reborn!, Pokemon, Gintama, Detective Conan, Shana, Hayate no Gotoku, ToHeart2, Higurashi, Kyou no go no ni, Hidamari, Nodame Cantabile, Ikki Tousen, Major, Prince of Tennis are ineligible to participate starting this year. But who knows, the rule may change again in the future so that "new" characters can participate..

Currently some Hidamari characters are on the list but they'll be replaced soon.

ugh so in the end they actually agreed to go ahead with that rule...horrible -_-
But I really do hope they reconsider since there are some characters that still need a chance in the future *cough*Athena*cough*
